Unpacking; Assembly; Mount Sander; Attach Abrasive Disc - Craftsman 351.215140 Operator's Manual

• Turn machine off if it jams. Belt jams when it digs too
deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the
work.)
• Support workpiece with miter gauge, belt platen or work
table.
• Maintain 1/16" m aximum clearance between table and sand-
ing belt or disc.
CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when tool is being
used.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate tool until it is com-
pletely assembled according to the instructions.
Refer to Figure 1.
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a claim
must be filled with carrier. Check for completeness.
Immediately report missing parts to dealer.
The sander comes assembled as one unit. Additional parts

TOOLS NEEDED

will need the following tools:
• 13mm Wrench
• 3 and 5mm Hex Wrenches
• Combination Square
• Phillips Screwdriver
MOUNT SANDER
Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
Choose a suitable location to mount the sander. The sander
must be installed in a place with ample lighting and correct
power supply. To install sander:
• The sander must be bolted to a firm, level surface.
• Make sure there is plenty of room for moving the work-
piece. There must be enough room that neither operators
nor bystanders will have to stand in line with the wood
while using the tool. Allow room so that belt assembly can
be positioned horizontally.
• Press a foot onto each corner of the base of the sander.
• Sander can be installed on a workbench or a tool stand
(see Recommended Accessories, page 13) using bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts, and mounting brackets.
